Describe an ellipse.
To discuss: An ellipse.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An ellipse is flat circle or oval shape geometric figure.
It is a two-dimension curve which can be formed by intersecting the cone with a plane at an angle. The angle of intersection should not be perpendicular to axis of cone.
An ellipse can be traced by moving a point in a plane such that the sum of the distance from the two fixed point (the focii) is constant.
The mathematical equation of ellipse is,
Here, a and b is the length of major and minor axis respectively.
